i loved this family last year when we met, and i loved them even more this time. it is so cool to have returning clients because they really do feel like old friends. the kids are a total riot and they have so much fun with me. they remind me a lot of my own, so maybe that is why we click.

mom and dad just wanted the kids to be themselves, and play…and so we had fun doing just that.
